The CW’s ARROW Pilot First Look

There are so many pilots being made right now that it’s nearly impossible to try and keep track of them. However, one that has been intriguing me is The CW’s ARROW, which yes, is about Oliver Queen (although this series will not be starring SMALLVILLE vet Justin Hartley…Stephen Amell will play this latest incarnation).

According to the network, “After being marooned for five years on a remote island, former billionaire playboy Oliver Queen returns with a mysterious agenda and a lethal set of new skills that he uses in a war on crime.”

“When I directed the pilot for Smallville, I knew that making Clark Kent relatable would be the key to audiences believing in him as a hero,” ARROW director David Nutter said in a statement. “ARROW is a different show — darker and harder-edged — but it’s the same core idea. We’re creating a real, believable world in which Oliver Queen can do incredible things. Colleen Atwood’s great work on the Arrow costume reflects that effort.”
